Blizzard conditions in rural areas. This is south of Ames, IA around 7 pm CDT. Roads have become ice making it worse. It doesn't take much snow for this to happen! @NWSDesMoines

This is well stated! Blizzard warnings were issued for a reason.

A glimpse of @iowastatepatrol Trooper Moore on Interstate 80 in western Iowa last night! There is a reason the @NWSOmaha @NWSDesMoines and first responders warn in advance of these blizzard conditions and to STAY HOME. First responders had to rescue many and take to shelters!

@ThetaShear Holy cow. That is crazy to see the blizzard so blinding with snow and wind. Stay safe out there.
May WeatherNation be able to use your footage for on-air / socials giving you full credit?

Yeah, it was definitely a dirty rain north of Johnston #iawx
NWS Des Moines@NWSDesMoines
There is a massive amount of dust being picked up by strong winds over KS, OK, TX, CO, NM currently and can be seen here in light brown. That dust will arrive over Iowa this evening. Any precipitation will use this dust as nuclei so expect dirt on your cars in the morning #iawx

The annual Cogil golf classic only lasted 9 holes this year at the Lake Panorama Golf Course due to storms but 3 retired NWS employees and one current NWS employee got some quick storm surveying done. Note the damage was from the overnight storms.

It was great to have Jason in the office today!

Thanks so much to my old friend Rod Donovan at the US National Weather Service Des Moines Iowa for hosting us for the evening shows ahead of tomorrow’s storms. Such a great partnership and we’re lucky to get to collaborate with these folks. #iawx @NWSDesMoines

3. Was this video filmed the same day it was posted?
Thanks so much!

The large dendrites have arrived in west Ames. The radar imagery is differential reflectivity, with the higher band showing the area of stellar dendrites. 33 degrees, though, so SLR is lower. @NWSDesMoines

This isn't hype. It is a very strong storm system that is going to bring significant impacts to the region.
NWS Des Moines@NWSDesMoines
The wind potential for Tue night/Wed is the strongest signal we have seen since 12/15/2021. The exact timing the rain/snow transition Tue night is less certain and will impact snow amounts but 1" per hour rates may occur at times. Significant travel impacts are very possible.
